New insights into the natural history of thrombo-embolic disease provided by imaging and disease quantification

Murchison, John Tallach January 2013 (has links)
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common disease with a myriad of presentation. It is often difficult to diagnosis with symptoms which are shared with many other disorders. Because of the overlap in symptomatology with other pathologies it is both commonly overlooked when present and commonly considered when absent. The threshold for investigating suspected VTE has dropped over time, in part due to a greater awareness of the disease among clinicians, but also because of the greater availability of diagnostic tests which are both accurate at positively diagnosing VTE and are patient friendly. This has resulted in a mushrooming of the number of diagnostic tests being performed for suspected VTE in radiology departments. As such radiology provides a window into the disease in a way that no other speciality can. All branches of medicine having their share of VTE patients but radiology provides a unique opportunity to study VTE patients as, no matter from which speciality they arise when the disease is suspected, they will almost inevitably end up undergoing a definitive radiological test. There is much still to learn about VTE however developments in modern imaging and computerised databases have advanced our understanding of this common disease. The window that radiology provides into VTE has contributed towards those advances.

Micropartículas (MPs) são pequenas vesículas liberadas da membrana celular durante ativação e apoptose. MPs podem ser um reflexo da dinâmica entre repouso, ativação e morte celular e podem contribuir com a gravidade da doença pois são procoagulantes e pro-inflamatórias. Parece haver associação entre elevado número de MPs e risco de complicações tromboembólicas, que podem ter um papel na patogênese destas doenças. Neste estudo avaliamos e caracterizamos as MPs em pacientes com TPV de membro inferior, [ao diagnóstico (5M/4H, idade média=41,1 anos), após 6 meses de tratamento (7M/3H, idade média=32,9 anos), associada à Síndrome do Anticorpo Antifosfolípide (7M/3H, idade média=33,8 anos)], em portadores assintomáticos do Fator V de Leiden (FVL) (7M, idade média=34 anos), e comparando-as a controles pareados por sexo, idade e etnia. As MPs foram isoladas de sangue periférico citratado, por centrifugação diferencial. A quantificação e caracterização foram feitas por citometria de fluxo usando os anticorpos: CD235, CD61, CD45, CD31, CD14, CD45, anti-TF e Anexina V. A atividade procoagulante plasmática foi investigada pela dosagem do fragmento 1+2 de protrombina (F1+2). A atividade procoagulante das MPs foi analisada pela dosagem de F1+2, de Dímero-D (DD2) e pelo teste de geração de trombina (TGT) em pool de indivíduos saudáveis em presença de MPs, corrigidas ou não por número na amostra (10.000 MPs). A análise estatística empregou os testes Wilcoxon ou U de Mann-Whitney, a=0.05. O número de MPs não estave diminuído em nenhum dos grupos estudados. A porcentagem de MPs estava estatisticamente aumentada nos pacientes com SAF/TVP em relação a seus controles (P=0,007). Observou-se um aumento significativo das MPs plaquetárias nos pacientes com SAF/TVP (P=0,01) e diminuição das MPs endoteliais naqueles com TVP ao diagnóstico (P=0,03), quando comparados aos seus controles. Os pacientes com SAF/TVP apresentaram diminuição significativa do F1+2 plasmático, tanto em relação aos seus controles (P=0,008) como ao CTR total (P=0,002). O F1+2 gerado pelas MPs estava significativamente diminuído em indivíduos com FVL em relação ao CTR total (0,009), e em pacientes com SAF/TVP em relação aos seus controles (P=0,001), e ao CTR total (P=0,008). O DD2 em pool de plasma, independente do número de MPs, estava significativamente aumentado na comparação entre TVP ao diagnóstico e seus controles (P=0,008) e ao CTR total (P=0,0001). O DD2 em pool com número corrigido de MPs apresentava-se aumentado significativamente nos pacientes com TVP ao diagnóstico quando comparados aos seus controles (P=0,008). Os valores do TGT com número corrigido de MPs estavam estatisticamente diminuídos em pacientes com TVP após 6 meses (P=0,01), em comparação ao CTR total. Nossos resultados demonstraram que o número de MPs está alterado em pacientes com TVP, e talvez possam ter um papel, particularmente após o evento trombótico ou em presença de anticorpos antifosfolípides. As MPs demonstraram atividade procoagulante, principalmente ao diagnóstico de TVP, podendo contribuir ou agravar o quadro clínico do paciente / Abstract: Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) is a multicausal disease, but many risk factors are not well defined. Microparticles (MPs) are small blebs released from cellular surfaces during activation and apoptosis. MPs may be the consequence of the dynamics between rest, activation and cellular death and can contribute to the seriousness of the illness and are therefore procoagulant and pro-inflammatory. There seems to be an association between high numbers of MPs and risk of thromboembolic complications and these may have a role in pathogenesis of these illnesses. In this study, we evaluated and characterized the MPs in patients with DVT of inferior limbs, [at diagnosis (5M/4H, medium age= 41.1 years), after 6 months of treatment (7M/3H, medium age= 32.9 years), and associated to Antibody Antiphospholipid Syndrome (7M/3H, medium age= 33.8 years)], and asymptomatic carriers of Factor V Leiden (FVL) (7M, medium age 34= years), matched to health controls by sex, age and ethnic origin. The MPs were isolated from citrated peripheral blood, by differential centrifugation. The quantification and characterization were performed by flow cytometry using the antibodies: CD235, CD61, CD45, CD31, CD14, CD45, anti-TF and Annexin V. The plasmatic procoagulantic activity was investigated by prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2) dosage. The MPs procoagulant activities were analyzed by F1+2 dosage, D-dímer (DD2) and Thrombin Generation Test (TGT) in a pool of healthy individuals in the presence of MPs, corrected or not for number in the sample (10.000 MPs). Statistical analysiswas performed by Wilcoxon or the Mann-Whitney tests, a=0.05. The MPs number were not lower in any of the studied groups. The MPs percentage was statistically increased in the SAF/DVT patients compared to their matched controls (P=0.007). A significant increase in the platelet-derived MPs in SAF/DVT patients (P=0.01) and a reduction in the endothelial-derived MPs at diagnosis were observed (P=.03), when compared to their matched controls. The SAF/TVP patients show a significant reduction in plasmatic F1+2, when compared to their matched controls (P=0.008) and to the total CTR (P=0.002). The F1+2 generated by MPs were significantly lower in FVL carriers compared to the total CTR (0.009), and in SAF/DVT patients compared to their controls (P=0.001), and to the total CTR (P=0.008). The DD2 in the pool of plasma, independently of the number MPs, was significantly higher in DVT at diagnosis when compared to their matched controls (P=0.008) and the total CTR (P=0.0001). The DD2 in the pool with corrected MPs number was significantly higher in DVT at diagnosis patients when compared to their matched controls (P=0,008). The values of TGT in corrected MPs number were statistically lower in patients with DVT after 6 months (P=0.01), in comparison to the total CTR. Our results demonstrated that the number of MPs is modified in patients with DVT, and may play a role, particularly after the thrombotic event or in association with antiphospholipid antibodies. The MPs demonstrated procoagulant activity, especially at DVT diagnosis, and were able to contribute or to aggravate the patient¿s clinical situation / Mestrado / Biologia Estrutural, Celular, Molecular e do Desenvolvimento / Mestre em Fisiopatologia Médica

Pazzini, Carla 03 December 2010 (has links)
Orientadores: Joyce Maria Annichino-Bizacchi, Nelci Fenalti Hoher / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Pazzini_Carla_M.pdf: 2143259 bytes, checksum: b3ff6eb2527b691a4021526983ef2aeb (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010 / Resumo: A heparina é um anticoagulante amplamente empregado no tratamento e profilaxia da trombose venosa profunda (TVP). Algumas limitações do seu uso são o custo e a via de administração, endovenosa ou subcutânea, às vezes em doses repetidas em 24 horas. Assim, o desenvolvimento de um produto que possa ser administrado por via subcutânea em um menor número de aplicações ou por via oral, torna-se um importante desafio, e de grande aplicabilidade clínica. A utilização de um sistema de liberação sustentada de fármacos pode vir ao encontro desse objetivo, pois permite que o agente seja protegido e liberado gradativamente. Este projeto consistiu na preparação e caracterização de nanopartículas biodegradáveis de poli (e-caprolactona) (PCL) como carreador de heparina de baixo peso molecular, e avaliação de sua atividade anticoagulante e antitrombótica in vivo. As nanopartículas foram preparadas pelo método de dupla emulsão a/o/a e evaporação de solvente. A caracterização das nanopartículas foi realizada por microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV), observando-se nanopartículas esféricas e homogêneas. O diâmetro médio das nanopartículas foi de 269 ± 36 nm e o potencial zeta foi de -1,20 ± 1,93 mV, indicando que as mesmas apresentam carga negativa. A eficiência de encapsulação, analisada pelo método Azure II, foi de 80 ± 2,3%. A liberação da heparina in vitro, avaliada pelo método de Azure II, no período de 24 horas foi de 4 ± 1,8%. Após a adição da esterase houve um aumento para 10 ± 1,9% na liberação de heparina, provavelmente pela aceleração da degradação das partículas pela enzima. A liberação in vivo da heparina encapsulada, após aplicação subcutânea em ratos, foi avaliada pela atividade anti-Xa plasmática através do método colorimétrico, e os resultados foram comparados aos obtidos com heparina livre. A dose de heparina encapsulada teve que ser 5 vezes maior que a dose de heparina livre. A heparina encapsulada em nanopartículas apresentou uma liberação sustentada por até 12 horas, por um período significativamente mais prolongado (P<0,01), mas com menor atividade anti-Xa. Esses dados sugerem que as nanopartículas podem permitir que a heparina seja liberada de uma forma mais gradual, e mesmo em dose mais elevada, não parece estar associada a um risco de atividade acima da faixa terapêutica. Quando se comparou a atividade anti-Xa obtida pela injeção subcutânea de nanopartículas com heparina em doses diversas, 800 UI/Kg e 1000 UI/Kg, ficou demonstrado que o efeito e o tempo de ação dependem da dose aplicada. Para avaliação da ação antitrombótica foi padronizado o modelo de TVP por estase em ratos. As doses de nanopartículas empregadas para a avaliação da ação antitrombótica foram calculadas pela atividade anti-Xa semelhante à obtida com a heparina livre, de 0,3 a 0,7 UI/mL. A heparina livre ou encapsulada em nanopartículas foi aplicada em uma única dose, por via subcutânea. Os resultados mostraram que houve diminuição significativa do trombo formado com a utilização de heparina livre, em comparação ao grupo controle (P=0,004). Praticamente não houve a formação de trombose venosa em nenhum dos ratos que receberam a heparina encapsulada em nanopartículas, com uma diferença significativa tanto em relação ao grupo controle (P<0,001) como ao grupo com heparina livre (P<0,001). Em resumo, o método de dupla emulsão a/o/a mostrou-se um método eficiente para o encapsulamento de heparina, proporcionando a obtenção de nanopartículas esféricas e com alta eficiência de encapsulação. Pelos estudos in vivo, a heparina encapsulada não liofilizada mostrou uma liberação sustentada, por um período superior ao obtido com a heparina livre, e com excelente ação antitrombótica. Caso esses resultados se confirmem através da continuidade deste estudo, a utilização de heparina encapsulada em nanopartículas na prática clínica poderá ser uma realidade com grandes vantagens para o paciente. / Abstract: Heparin is an anticoagulant widely used in the treatment and prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Some limitations of its use is the cost and route of administration, intravenous or subcutaneous, sometimes in repeated doses in 24 hours. Thus, the development of a product that can be administered subcutaneously in a smaller number of applications or orally becomes a major challenge, with interesting clinical applications. The use of a system for sustained release of drugs can come to meeting that goal, because it allows the agent to be protected and released gradually. This project consisted of the preparation and characterization of biodegradable nanoparticles of poly (e-caprolactone) (PCL) as a carrier of heparin of low molecular weight, and its evaluation of anticoagulant and antithrombotic activity in vivo. The nanoparticles were prepared by the method of double emulsion w/o/w and evaporation of solvent. The characterization of nanoparticles was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which showed homogeneous spherical nanoparticles. The average diameter of nanoparticles was 269±36 nm and zeta potential was -1.20±1.93 mV, indicating negative charge. The encapsulation efficiency, assayed by Azure II, was 80±2.3%. The release of heparin in vitro, at the 24-hour period was 4±1.8%. After the addition of esterase the release of heparin was increased to 10±1.9%, probably by accelerating the degradation of particles by the enzyme. The in vivo release of encapsulated heparin after subcutaneous administration in rats, was assessed by anti-Xa plasma activity and the results were compared with free heparin. The dose of heparin encapsulated had to be 5 times the dose of heparin free. Heparin-encapsulated nanoparticles showed a sustained release for up to 12 hours for a period significantly longer (P<0.01), but with lower anti-Xa activity. These data suggest that nanoparticles may allow heparin to be released in a more gradual, but with lower activity. When comparing the anti-Xa activity obtained by subcutaneous injection of nanoparticles with different doses of heparin, 800 IU/kg and 1000 IU/kg, demonstrated that the effect and duration of action depends on the dose applied. To evaluate the antithrombotic action of nanoparticles with heparin a model of DVT by stasis in rats was used. The doses of nanoparticles used for the evaluation of antithrombotic action were calculated by anti-Xa activity similar to that obtained with free heparin, 0.3 to 0.7 IU/mL. Heparin free or encapsulated in nanoparticles was applied in a single dose subcutaneously. The results showed a significant decrease of thrombus formed with the use of free heparin, compared with the control group (P=0.004). There were virtually no formation of venous thrombosis in any of the rats that received heparin encapsulated in nanoparticles, with a significant difference both in the control group (P<0.001) and the group with free heparin (P<0.001). In summary, the method of double emulsion w/o/w proved an efficient method for the encapsulation of heparin, providing spherical homogeneous nanoparticles with high encapsulation efficiency. For in vivo studies, heparin encapsulated showed a sustained release for a period greater than that of free heparin, and with excellent antithrombotic action. If these results are confirmed by the continuity of this study, the use of heparin encapsulated in nanoparticles in clinical practice can be of great benefits for the patient. / Mestrado / Medicina Experimental / Mestre em Fisiopatologia Médica

DetecÃÃo do fator V Leiden em pacientes trombofÃlicos no Estado do CearÃ. / Detection of factor V Leiden in patients with thrombophilia in CearÃ, Brazil

Eunice Bobà de Carvalho 06 August 2004 (has links)
nÃo hà / As doenÃas trombÃticas constituem um sÃrio problema na saÃde mundial. Diversas desordens hereditÃrias, que afetam o sistema fisiolÃgico anticoagulante, estÃo atualmente estabelecidas como fatores de risco para a ocorrÃncia do evento trombÃtico. Dentre estes o fator V Leiden à o mais freqÃente. A associaÃÃo entre alteraÃÃes no gene do fator V e a ocorrÃncia de eventos trombÃticos desencadeou o desenvolvimento de diversas pesquisas. Neste estudo, 100 pacientes portadores de eventos trombÃticos, atendidos no ambulatÃrio de Hematologia do Centro de Hematologia e Hemoterapia do Cearà - HEMOCE/SESA/UFC, foram analisados para a detecÃÃo da presenÃa do fator V Leiden. O grupo controle consistiu de 110 voluntÃrios sadios. A freqÃÃncia encontrada na populaÃÃo controle foi de 2,7% (03/110), enquanto que nos pacientes trombofÃlicos foi de 9% (09/100). Destes, 77,8% (07/09) eram do sexo feminino e 22,2% (02/09) do sexo masculino e a cor predominante foi a parda [66,7% (06/09)]. A faixa etÃria mais freqÃente foi entre 26 e 33 anos [33,4% (03/09)]. Do total dos pacientes portadores do fator V Leiden, 88,9% (08/09) apresentaram trombose venosa profunda e 11,1% (01/09) trombose arterial com recorrÃncia do evento trombÃtico de 22,2% (02/09). A correlaÃÃo entre a presenÃa do evento trombÃtico/presenÃa do fator V Leiden e o uso de contraceptivo oral foi de 71,4% (05/07). Das pacientes portadoras e que usaram contraceptivo oral nÃo ocorreu o aborto. A localizaÃÃo do primeiro evento trombÃtico, nos portadores, foi predominantemente nos membros inferiores [88,9% (08/09)] e 11,1% (01/09), nas artÃrias coronÃrias. Em 44,4% (04/09) havia um ou mais fatores de risco/morbidade associado. A freqÃÃncia da mutaÃÃo encontrada no estado do Cearà mostrou-se inferior aos dados obtidos na regiÃo de Botucatu (SP) - 12% e ao estudo de Benson, em Atlanta (EUA)- 12,4 e ainda menor que os encontrados na regiÃo de Campinas (SP)- 20% e à populaÃÃo com ancestral europeu-18%. A diferenÃa entre pacientes trombofÃlicos e populaÃÃo controle nÃo foi estatisticamente significante (p=0,19), mas o risco estimado para o evento trombÃtico foi de 2,46.

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in the treatment of symptomatic portal hypertension

Rosenqvist, Kerstin January 2017 (has links)
Portal hypertension (PHT) is a condition with serious complications, such as variceal bleeding, refractory ascites and bowel ischemia. The cause of PHT may be pre-, intra- or post-hepatic. Initial treatment is pressure-reducing drugs and the treatment of acute symptoms. Ten patients presented with severe abdominal pain and acute portomesenteric venous thrombosis. Their response to systemic anticoagulation was insufficient. Treatment with primary continuous thrombolysis by a transhepatic or transjugular approach in four patients resulted in major complications, incomplete recanalization and a 75% survival rate. Treatment with repeated transjugular thrombectomy (TT) combined with the creation of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) achieved near complete recanalization, prompt symptom relief and 100% survival in five patients treated with this method as the primary intervention. In one patient, treated with TT and TIPS secondary to surgical thrombectomy and bowel resection, the outcome was fatal. Nineteen patients with portal vein thrombosis presented with acute or threatening variceal bleeding or refractory ascites. TIPS was feasible in 16 of the 18 patients in whom it was attempted and symptom relief was achieved in the majority of them. In 14 patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome, 13 patients were treated with TIPS, four of them after previous liver vein angioplasty. The 5-year transplantation-free survival rate was 100% in patients treated with primary TIPS. In 131 patients with variceal bleeding treated with TIPS, the survival at 12 months in patients with and without cirrhosis was 70% and 100% respectively and in accordance with previous studies. A high Child-Pugh score prior to TIPS and severe HE within 12 months after TIPS was related to an increased mortality. The occurrence of HE after TIPS did not correlate with the PSG after TIPS. Re-bleeding within 12 months after TIPS occurred in 10 patients and was associated with TIPS dysfunction. In conclusion, endovascular intervention, mainly TIPS, seems to be safe and effective for treating patients with complications of PHT, regardless of the underlying cause of disease and site of venous blood flow obstruction. HE may occur more frequently after TIPS than medical and endoscopic treatment, but is often mild and easily treated. In selected patients with PHT, TIPS may improve survival.
